This morning the girls did a mini-workbook on baby animals. We discussed all the names and Lucia has now decided to pronounce 'lamb' with a 'b' on the end. They drew some lovely pictures of baby animals next to their mothers - and a picture of me!


Painting.

Today's work - baby animal booklet, farm worksheet, mice and cheese cut outs, foam stickers and mouse painting.


This afternoon we walked to the fields to 'The Puddle' which is invariably there. The two eldest took their fishing nets and Dom had fun with a pot and spade.

This morning the girls worked really hard on their farm workbooks. Elodie took her French maths book to Playgroup this afternoon and did some good work while the other two played.

The girls cut out farm pictures and we created an open-the-door barn.

Today we went to the Farm!


I was supervising the two eldest and suddenly discovered Dom on the other side of the barn having somehow managed to line up all the sheep. They were staring at her and she at them. I got closer and heard her saying "'ello baaaaaa". I loved it!


Feeding the not so little lambs.

Lucia learnt how to milk a cow.


Dom, with her typical facial expression. having a go at milking the cow.

Elodie named her tractor 'Betsy'.
